Railbird, you around buddy?

 

[SportSavant]

-11 is definately the line to go with here... value is lost on the dog...

I think we see some pride from the US squad & they cover the spread...

what is with the lay -115... I may not bet this game based on principle alone...

anyone else got better vig?

 

[Railbird]

I dont know much about Germany basketball, but I do know USA basketball sucks, American coaches arent very good at college or pro level, team play is not encouraged. Basketball IQ is at an all time low in America.

Also would like to add, I recently saw a list of 2 guards, aka "shooting guards" for the NBA. NONE of them can shoot. Is there ONE good shooter in the NBA?? I cant think of any, I remember the Celtics in the 80's had 5 or 6 guys that would shoot 90% if they had an open jumper, right now there is ZERO American players than can shoot. The NBA has a 6'4 height requirment for 2 guards, and that eliminates anybody that can shoot.

Same reason you see TONS of dropped passes in the nfl, becasue of the 4.4 40 requirement to be a wideout.

Rail,

Just curious, but why do you hate everyone over 6' tall and black? And anyone that's fast? Read back over your last post... zero American's that can shoot? That's like saying all short white guys from California are idiots and racist.... oops, never mind, bad example.

 

[SportSavant]

whats the score of this game anyway?

 

[wilheim]

USA 80 Germany 77 Final. The spread was never in doubt.


wil.

hmmm... luckily I had no Funds at 5dimes & luckily they turned me off by charging -115 VIG or I just might have bet on the USA
